In 2012, Staff Sergeant Nhubu Chikaka was wrongfully accused of several charges of sexual assault.

​Evidence (and lack thereof) was ignored by the Marine Corps because it felt a pressure to convict.

In March 2014, SSgt Chikaka was sentenced to twelve years imprisonment for allegedly sending inappropriate text messages that were never produced by the accusers; allegedly texting a request to meet a recruit at an office where the recruit was touched over the clothes by SSgt Chikaka (the text did not exist) and allegedly hugging another recruit.

in 2013 - one year after the accusations were made and one year before the Court Martial - two of the accusers no longer wished to pursue their accusations, yet their charges remained.

​An entire Article 32 transcript was "lost" by the USMC in SSgt Chikaka's case to ensure he would be convicted.
